The Levenhuk Skyline PRO 80 MAK is a basic model of the Skyline PRO series. The Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design of this telescope provides a compact tube and high-quality images. This is a perfect tool for observing deep sky objects such as star clusters, binary stars, nebulae and other galaxies. Additionally, you will be amazed by its performance during planetary observations. The telescope is configured on a solid German equatorial mount. The Levenhuk Skyline PRO 80 MAK is wonderful for field observations, as it would have no problems transporting and setting up for your observations.
The lenses and mirrors have a multi-coating that allows maximum light capture and increases their useful life. The strong, lightweight aluminum tube is configured into an equatorial mount with slow motion controls. You can also install the computerized equatorial traction system (purchased separately). It is equipped with graduated circles that, after a quick adjustment, allow objects to be located by their celestial coordinates and tracked with just a turn of an equatorial control. The height-adjustable tripod has a handy accessory tray where you can store all your tools. The focusing system features a standard T-mount, allowing you to attach an SLR camera with an adapter and use your telescope for astrophotography.
The Levenhuk Skyline PRO series has been designed for advanced and demanding astronomers and includes a wide variety of models. They all have in common maximum precision and reliability in observations and astrophotography and high quality materials and optics.
